Today we are proud to launch Neowin Member Mail, powered by Windows Live Hotmail. This service is free and provides our members with one e-mail address from a selection of custom (neowin) domains.
In order to further improve services to members, there are some handy links on the Services page along with the option to sign up to our weekly news letter in conjunction with Techspot, you will start to see further improvements and services added to that page in due course. In short a one stop page for services offered to our members and guest readers.
You will only be able to register one email to your member name here on Neowin, the name suggested is your member name but you can choose anything -- it cannot be changed by Neowin staff later! Look for the small envelope at the top of the page that will be across Neowin to access the email account and other services.
Note: When you first log in to your Neowin e-mail account, it will suggest you setup a backup e-mail address. THIS IS SUGGESTED, as that is the only way you can have your password reset -- Neowin staff cannot do this for you.
Update: A glitch in the code prevented members from signing up and limited access only to subscribers. This should be corrected. If you attempted to create an email address and were denied access please try again.

You can only change your display name not your username

When I log into the site I use my "new" username not my old one? What's the difference between a display name and username?

To be honest, I only signed up because of the must-reserve-my-nick-in-all-online-services factor.
I used my member name. How is pTony invalvid?
Then back to the telegraph you go!
And they are forcing you to sign up!
Oh wait. They aren't?
Back to your bomb shelter then, and don't forget your tin foil hat.
do you HAVE to use it?
I haven't seen news yet that Google discovered identity theft on Gmail, or Microsoft discovering the same on Windows Live Mail. The last major news on this and webmail that I recall was some thing with the ancient Hotmail service. There was for a few days a security hole that could let one access others' mails.
I'm not sure what kind of "personal details" you're talking of. This sign up asked me for three things: my mail address to create, and the Neowin login name to connect the account to, and various "security questions" to recover lost passwords, that you choose if they should be tied to your identity. It'll probably get my IP address logged somewhere too, but all web sites in the world will get that unless you surf by proxy, and only your ISP can connect that to personal details, usually after being given a police order. It doesn't ask you of real name, phone number, age, shoe size.

A few years back when subscribers were created this was promised as a subscriber plus that you had (much like the blogs). What happen to that?

thankx neowin kinda makes me feel more 'in' the neowin community now lol
Got me vamp@myneowin.net
Haha, well its a nice sounding service if you've based it on Windows Live Mail. Is this running on a Windows 2008 Server?
Cripe neowin, you couldn't come up with a better way to do this? Just what I wanted too, create an e-mail address that will be filled up with spam before I could ever sign in, to begin with!!
No thanks!!
cool stuff, thanks
